By using this tutorial you agree to my terms Feel free to use your own colors for this. For this tutorial you will need Jasc PSP 8 . You will need alpha-channel canvas here. These are the colors I used. Right click and save to your hard drive.
Choose you duck colors. I used the 5th color for the foreground and the 6th for the back ground. Click on each layer and load the alpha-channel. 1. Load the right wing
bottom alpha-channel, flood fill with the foreground
color. Click on the lock 2. Do the same for the left wing. Load the alpha-channel again and add new raster layer. Invert and apply drop shadow using these settings. Vertical and Horizontal 0, Opacity 68, Blur 9, color #4E3D14. The next part is optional I liked the tips of the wings to be a bit darker. Erase the top part of the shadow, we just want it to be on the feather part of the wing. Use the soften tool to smooth the edge. I have circled the areas to be softened.
3. Load the feet alpha-channel. I used the first and second colors. Do the same as you did in the first step. Use the lighten and darken tool to add some high light to the feet. 4. Load the bottom alpha-channel. Use the same colors as the wings and do the same as in step 2. Click on the bottom layer and use soften tool to smooth edge where it lays against the wing. Do the same for the top and top wing layers. 5. Load the head alpha-channel. Do the same as the other layers but don't erase any of the shadow. 6. Load the bottom bill alpha-channel. Use the colors you used for the feet. 7. Load the top bill layer and do the same as for the feet with the lighten and darken tool. Use the airbrush with the background color and make two small dots for the nose. 8. Load the eye shadow alpha-channel. Don't flood fill with color, we are going to use the cutout for the color. Apply cutout using these settings. Vertical and Horizontal 0, Opacity 100, Blur 24, color #AF915A. Lower the opacity of the layer to about 80%. You can use the eye I made or make your own. Put the eye on the shadow turn off all other layers and merge visible the 2 layers, duplicate and mirror. Move the eyes into place. Turn on the bow and heart layers. Add any drop shadows and things you want. I left the canvas big so you could merge the layers except the bow and heart. Just mirror her and duplicate the bow and heart for her friend. Your Good Friends Ducks are done. Hope everyone had fun with this. Susi Click here to receive updates when new tutorials are posted.

This tutorial is dedicated to my friend Opal. She keeps a smile on my face. She kept calling chicks, ducks so I said I was going to make a duck and call it Opal cause she always quacks me up. But naming it Good Friends seem to fit me and Opal. Love and hugs to you always. March 27,2004 |
